The titans of hardcore are back, ready to crush the metal landscape with their latest album this fall.

Connecticut's hardcore warriors, HATEBREED, have officially joined forces with BLKIIBLK, the heavy metal arm of Frontiers Label Group, and trust us when we say: the stakes have never been higher. Known for their seismic sound and lyrically potent anthems that resonate with legions of metalheads, the band is gearing up to unleash their next sonic assault this fall, produced by none other than the legendary Chris "Zeuss" Harris, a titan in his own right.

"We're beyond grateful and can’t wait to unleash these tracks on the world!" exclaimed frontman Jamey Jasta, reflecting on the new partnership and the exhilarating journey ahead. This collaboration signifies more than just a new label—it’s a bold step into uncharted territory, with crushing new riffs and relentless energy that fans have come to expect from this iconic band.

Drummer Matt Byrne chimed in with his fierce enthusiasm, declaring 2026 as the definitive year of HATEBREED. With a schedule packed with European festivals, dual U.S. legs of the 'Summer Slaughter' tour, and a powerhouse album on the horizon, the band's relentless drive shows no signs of slowing down. "This juggernaut as we know it is picking up the pace rapidly and is taking no prisoners," he stated, setting the tone for an aggressive comeback.

Jasta elaborated on the recording process, revealing the chemistry with Zeuss that has been cultivated over years. "When you're chasing something timeless, having that level of trust and understanding makes all the difference," he noted. The band’s upcoming album promises to deliver a raw, caveman-esque heaviness that harkens back to their roots, stripping away any unnecessary embellishments in favor of pure, unadulterated metal.

As the hype builds, the anticipation for HATEBREED's new material is palpable. With the recent release of their single "Make The Demons Obey," the band is poised to keep the momentum going, teasing fans with the promise of more music and relentless tours. As they gear up to dominate the stages, HATEBREED remains a formidable force, ready to etch their name deeper into the annals of metal history.
